Flight control management using touchscreen interfaces

An aircraft fuel management system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• an avionics system interface in data communication with the processor;
• a touchscreen display connected to the processor;
• and
• a memory in data communication with the processor storing processor executable code for configuring the at least one processor to:
• establish a data connection with one or more components in an avionics fuel system;
• generate a graphical user interface at the touchscreen display of the one or more components, the graphical user interface including a boost pump menu with at least one selectable icon for a set of engine boost pumps and a plurality of individually selectable icons for forward, center, and aft boost pumps;
• receive real-time status information for each of one or more components via the avionics system interface;
• render the real-time status information via an animation of the one or more components;
• generate one or more control signals for the set of engine boost pumps based on a user input;
• and
• render graphical representations of two or more fuel flows, each comprising a distinct color corresponding to a fuel function within a manifold.
